signed the Kyoto Protocol in Kyoto, JapanAccording to Kyoto Protocol, 36 counties are obliged to lower their greenhouse gas emission by 5.2 percent of the amount ofemission in 1990.The Kyoto treaty does not include developing countries since they produce less greenhouse gases, and they are too poor to spend money on the environment.
But developing country must participate in the near future.
of agreement being settled upon and the protocol being engaged was due to terms of Kyoto requiring at least 55 parties to ratify the agreement and for the total of those parties emissions to be at least 55% of global production ofgreenhouse gases.
The protocol was developed under the UNFCCC - the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Participating countries that have ratified t

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations ofgreenhouse gases produced by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations.
